After Moran changed his vote, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) waved his hand at him in a “come-on-over” gesture from across the aisle. Moran chuckled and shook his head.

Schumer voted for the immigration bill, along with every other Senate Democrat.

The Senate conducted a rare seated vote where senators have to sit at their desks and immediately declare their vote when the clerk calls their name.

At the conclusion of the roll-call, Moran double-checked that he was recorded as a “no” vote.

Vice President Biden was presiding over the Senate and reassured Moran that he was recorded as opposed to the immigration reform bill, which passed 68-32 vote. Fourteen Republicans voted for the bill, but every member of GOP leadership voted against it.

Moran is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is charged with electing a Republican majority to the Senate in 2014.
